The State Historical Society has installed a key card reader at its back door, which is located across from the Ellis staff lounge entrance door. Only staff members of SHS and Western Manuscripts will have access. If you have additional questions, please contact Pat Jones.
Printing from Outlook can be challenging, because it’s a little different from other Office applications. Other Office apps let you print directly from the print menu, whereas Outlook doesn’t. Instead, you must click the small Print Options button on the Print menu. From there select a Page Range option and you can specify the number of pages you would like to print from your email.
